Does this come with longer contacts for dogs with thick fur (like my Norwegian elkhound)?

the contact lengths have never been an issue on a very heavy and thick coated Australian Labradoodle, however, for this specific information I would suggest you contact the company directly .......... Tri-Tronics Customer Service - Email at support@tritronics.com or Call at: 1-800-456-4343.HTHs

The one I just bought was long - maybe 6.5 inches - but very thin. My 50 lb pit bull/border collie mix went thru it in 3 days.

There is a stubborn version. Also check that you have the correct contacts installed so they get through the fur.

i think they would plenty long to get through fur. i use mine on pit bulls and actually use shorter ones. hope this helps. great collars worth every penny work great in pool and lake water ect.

I'm not completely sure my bichon's fur is kept short for the most part when it is longer I don't have any problems. I love this harness and now own it for all 3 of my dogs

I just measured the two of mine and they come in at a max of about 23". That's to the last hole on the collar. It also comes with two extra prongs that are about twice as long as the stock ones. This helps with long haired fidos. I've stated this in other reviews, but these are BY FAR the best purchases I've made for my dogs. I literally just got back from a long walk of freedom when I saw your question. I could never give them the exercise they truly need, without these collars. I have one controller controlling both dog collars. That's pretty cool too. Good luck!

Yes, it is the size of the dog. I have a Golden Retriever and the large Furminator covers more of her fur with each swipe. The small one would take forever! I did start with the medium Furminator and managed just fine. That is until I got the large Furminator.....wow, what a difference in the time it takes me to groom her! I am done in almost no time at all! My Golden just loves getting brushed by this tool as well! She sits perfectly still unless she's giving my hand a quick lick as if to say, "Thanks Mom"! Lol!

The collar comes with two different prong sizes. I use the shorter ones on my beagle mix, but his fur isn't very thick. They're about 1/2in long. I feel like the longer prongs might work for you, but it depends on how thick your dog's fur is.

If it is a long haired dog, you will need to buy the longer prongs to replace original ones. My dog is a Great Pyrenees and I had to buy them. Now I usually only have to use the audible button to get my dogs attention.

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.

There are quite a few size comb guides that fit on the razor head. I don't know if they would work on the Newfie's thick fur, you might want to contact manufacturer direct. I used to have a Golden Retreiver & I did use the large size comb guide to thin out her fur.

Yes, u can order a tap extensions from the k9 signature Web site signaturek9.com. I have a great Dane and the harness works and looks great. Good luck

Hello jschick,I think this would definitely work on your dog. The prongs on the collar are a decent length, and seem to reach through long fur just fine. However, if the shorter ones just aren't working for you, this actually comes with another set of longer prongs.

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.

They come in different sizes. You have to check the website and look at the dimensions. I got the large one which comfortably fits my two twenty pound American Eskimo dogs.

The collar came with plenty of extra length but I have a chihuahua - even so it would fit all but the largest breeds. I like the vibrating collar better but this one certainly gets their attention and distracts them enough to cease barking

No a long coat does not matter. My yorkie has a long coat & this collar works very well on him.
